These days we're finding it increasingly difficult to realise when we're full. Our gluttonous chops demand more and we make complaints like "that packet of crisps wasn't even half-filled!" We're disgusting basically. Addressing our mass consumption is Per Johansen's latest series _Mæt_ (Full), where plastic containers have been crammed full of everyday foods, alluding to our excessive greed and consumer mentality.

Holy moly I love these glitched still lifes by Olan Ventura. (via colossal)
Belgian artist Cindy Wright creates realistic paintings using traditional techniques though her subject is rather unusual. Death, decay and raw flesh are motifs of her choice. Her still lifes are presented to us without context or an explanation, while her morbid subjects exemplify the physicality of flesh. In this way, her work continues the Northern […]
Filipino artist Olan Ventura creates lavish acrylic paintings in the tradition of 17th century Dutch still lifes. Replicating the smallest details of iconic works such as Jan Davidsz de Heem’s Vase of Flowers (c. 1660), Ventura veers off course with striking glitches and drips that shoot off the canvas edges, seeming to pull grapes, lobsters, and roses from the past into the present. A statement on Yavuz Gallery explains that Ventura is interested in identity, technology, popular culture. More

Aniela Sobieski is intrigued by “the human impulse to self-decorate,” a fascination that permeates every aspect of her portraiture. Evoking both baroque paintings and contemporary fashions, Sobieski adorns women and the occasional dog with elaborate makeup and sculptural accessories placed conspicuously to mask the subject’s features. She seamlessly maps classic still lifes and sparse landscapes directly onto the sitter’s face, often highlighting the natural shape of the eye and coating the figure’s lips in bold red. More

Portland based artist Eric Wert, first featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 32, is known for his larger than life and visually intense still life paintings of plants and food. Though his style is hyper-realistic, there is something about his portrayal of the vibrancy and ripeness of his subjects that makes them more appealing than life. Wert makes every day florals and foods like grapes and tomato look beautiful and evocative with a certain wildness. He has said, "I want to create an image that one can be lost within. To me, still-life painting is about looking intensely. It's about intimately exploring a subject." For his current exhibition at William Baczek Fine Arts in Massachusetts, Wert created a smaller series featuring hydrangea, lilies, pansy, iris, and figs in luscious, glistening still lifes.

Meet this week’s top Realism Today Ambassador, Dutch-Argentine artist and contemporary still life painter Lorena Kloosterboer.
As a 'thank you' for all your good wishes, I'm sharing one of my favorite contemporary artists with you today. Kaffe Fassett (1937 - ) is a prolific, incredibly talented, American artist primarily known for his festive fabric, quilting, knitting and needlepoint designs. This chair is a work of art in itself. But if I had to choose, I'd say it is his paintings I love most, though that chair covered in his needlepoint design does take my breath away. Gorgeous Kaffe Fassett fabric design. Only one of many books devoted to Fassett's designs. To learn more about Kaffe Fassett's life and work, please use this link to his website. I've culled these examples of Kaffe Fassett's work from various online sources for our educational enlightenment.
